Black Sark has a better agent that REAL Sark. Looks like he'll be there awhile
Even if the quarterbacks hadn't left, Sumlin would have entered 2016 on a warm seat because of nagging questions about his team's ability to compete in the SEC West beyond that magical debut season in '12. Now, after the public, embarrassing departure of the starting quarterback and the phenom supposed to take his place, the doubts about Sumlin will rage unless he can turn in enough wins to quiet his critics. The real MVP in this situation is Sumlin's agent Trace Armstrong, who convinced Texas A&M in November 2013 to guarantee the entirety of a six-year, $30 million deal and then convinced university officials to agree to a condition that the entirety of his buyout would have to be paid within 60 days of a potential firing. Had LSU gone through with firing Les Miles, Miles would have been owed $16 million. That buyout would have been payable over eight years, making it far more tolerable than a lump sum. Sumlin has extra protection because if he is fired after the '16 campaign, A&M would have two months to pay him $15 million. Texas millionaires are willing part from their money if they get mad enough, but that is a huge chunk of change. Texas A&M won't fire Sumlin unless all hope is lost.
